Can I see my clients' workouts in Watta?

Yes. If you follow your clients (and they follow you back), their workouts appear in your social feed. You can view their splits, distance, Effort Scores, and other metrics.

Is Watta useful for clients who are not rowers?

Absolutely. Watta is designed to be simple enough for anyone. Clients photograph the screen, and the Effort Score gives them one clear number. No rowing knowledge is needed.

Can I create a group for my clients?

Yes. Create a club within Watta and invite your clients with a code. You can see all their workouts in the club feed, making it easy to monitor progress across your client base.

Give your clients better erg data without extra work

By the Watta Team · Updated March 2026

As a personal trainer, you programme rowing into client sessions but rarely capture the data. Watta lets clients snap their PM5 screen after each piece, automatically logging splits, distance, and Effort Scores that you can both review.

Rowing App for Personal Trainers: Watta is a free, AI-powered rowing workout tracker. Snap your erg screen to capture data instantly. Get a 0-100 Effort Score combining cardiac load, work output, pacing, and economy. Track heart rate zones via the Karvonen method. Join clubs and squads to train with your crew.

The Problem

Client rowing data is not captured

Personal trainers prescribe rowing intervals and warm-ups but almost never record the actual output. Without data, you cannot track client progress on the rower or adjust programming.

Teaching clients to use the PM5 takes time

Explaining split time, stroke rate, and damper settings to every new client consumes valuable session time. Most trainers simplify to "row for 5 minutes" and move on.

No simple way to compare client effort across sessions

A client's 2:10 split one day and 2:05 another might look like progress, but what if the first session was 30 minutes and the second was 5? Without context-aware metrics, comparing sessions is misleading.

How Watta Helps

📲

Client-Friendly Photo Logging

Have clients photograph their PM5 screen after every rowing piece. Watta extracts all the data automatically. No teaching required — if they can take a photo, they can log a workout.

🎯

Effort Score as Programming Tool

Use the 0-100 Effort Score to prescribe rowing intensity. "Row at Effort Score 40-50" is far more useful and personalised than "row at 2:00 pace" for diverse client populations.

👁️

Social Feed for Accountability

Follow your clients and see their workouts in your feed. Clients stay accountable knowing their trainer can see every logged session.
